How we handle bath re-enamelling in Waterhouses
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Waterhouses questions
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Waterhouses. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
When to call us in Waterhouses
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
